None of those things sound like terrorism to me, just basic military violence,
Terrorists seldom engage in basic military violence, which requires courage. For example one of those released from Guatenamo captured several chinese foreign aid workers working in Pakistan, threatening to murder them: http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-pak13.html
though certainly the American and Russian militaries aren't the only ones engaging in terrorist activities in South Asia and some of these ~146 people may be among them. But most of the Warlord-vs-Warlord fighting in Afghanistan isn't terrorism, and most of the Iraqi Resistance isn't either,
What Al Quaeda and the Taliban do is terrorism. What the Northern Alliance does to stop them is not terrorism. When did the Northern alliance massacre civilians in territories it controlled, launch car bombs in market places, and so on and so forth?
and I'd have expected that a staunch anti-communist like James wouldn't mind people shooting at Russian soldiers even though they're no longer Soviets.
These guys prefer to shoot at children. --digsig James A. Donald 6YeGpsZR+nOTh/cGwvITnSR3TdzclVpR0+pr3YYQdkG qeXTtjIfy8jstPbn09dKRXMxQSVaG2t3WybJOFOP 4YnrjDudDubJLxMto2Ny0HL2d18PndoDUq+pjm+kd
